A dip in the jury pool

Rensselaer County Executive Kathy Jimino found herself in a county jury pool Monday.

Jimino took her briefcase containing county work with her when she walked down Congress Street to the county courthouse.

Jimino was in the jury pool for the trial of home health care aide Susan A. McDade of East Greenbush who is charged with rape for allegedly having inappropriate sexual contact with a developmentally disabled 17-year-old in her care.

Jimino’s number in the jury pool was 1, according to her staff. No word on whether she made it into the jury or not in the trial before County Curt Judge Robert Jacon.
